Chapter 014 No matter what you do
Zheng Xiuheng's words stunned the three of them, but when they thought about it carefully, their lives over the years were really all about money.
Li Zaiyuan thought about it for a moment and agreed with this statement. If he did something simply to make a living, he might not make a lot of money, but he could live a completely stable life. This was definitely much safer than being a gangster. Moreover, most of the gangsters were like a puddle of mud, and it was good enough if they could earn enough to support themselves.
"Since you are only doing it for money, you should control your desires. Guys like Zheng Qilong are the result of indulgence . Desires should not be indulged, or indulgence will lead to disaster. It is most important to see yourself, your future, and reality clearly. Being a lackey will never get you ahead."
Seeing Zheng Xiuheng talking to himself and telling them something, the three of them felt a little regretful. They really didn't know why they went to find this guy. The three of them just wanted to see if they could trick Zheng Xiuheng into doing something, take over the debt, grab power in Sanlong Cave, or join other cave sects together, or even cooperate with the four of them to open a place and then develop themselves. With Zheng Xiuheng's terrifying fighting ability, as long as he doesn't know firearms, he is absolutely invincible. If he develops well, he may become a big brother.
In other words, even if the deception failed, they were prepared to let Zheng Xiuheng go with them to collect the debt, as the three of them were a little powerless. The three of them did not want to get involved with the Dong faction for the time being, as they had just been investigated, and many others were still under investigation, so this was their free time, because the company was originally under the name of Li Zaiyuan.
But it seems that they were wrong. When they watched Zheng Xiuheng in the club or bar, he was always very silent. Although he was very violent at the beginning, he gave people the feeling that he would not offend others unless they offended him. The three of them thought that although he could fight, he was not a very smart type. But now it seems that the three of them were wrong.
"I'll give you one month to change the name of Chenlong Credit to Hengshou Credit. The company must be registered under my name. Also, recruit some employees. You can recruit from within the sect, but you must recruit people with clean backgrounds who want to leave the Dong sect. If you want to make money, don't mess around. Being a gangster will never lead to anything. But lending money is not bad, and we can take over this business now!"
"We can..."
"You have no choice!"
Zheng Xiuheng interrupted Jin Guanglu and looked , causing the latter to lower his head carefully.
"You want to establish the Dong Sect? So you want to expand your own power?" Li Jae-won asked while enduring the pain, his heart was also churning with waves at this moment.
Zheng Xiuheng pushed up his glasses that had slipped down a little, and replied calmly, "I've said I'm not evil. I was just a bodyguard before, and it's hard to say what I will be in the future. But now you just need to follow my instructions, and find all the objects and contracts belonging to the company for me. Without me, you will still be in a mess, and you won't get these accounts. You should know this very well. Besides that, Li Zaiyuan, I want you to check one thing for me!"
"If I say..."
"Heh, have you watched too many movies? Do you want to say what if you say no? You are smart, so don't be such an idiot. Since you come to me, it represents your inner thoughts. I know exactly what you want, so I will fulfill your wishes now, but you have to remember that I am different from Zheng Qilong, the boss of Sanlong Cave. And without me, do you think it is possible for you to recover these debts?" Zheng Xiuheng looked at the three of them with an inexplicable look, which made the three of them a little scared again, especially Lin Dazhong who could hardly stand.
The three of them had never imagined that Zheng Xiuheng, who was usually taciturn and like an iceberg, actually had such a changeable temperament. Only then did Li Jae-won realize that Zheng Xiuheng was not as simple and ordinary as he seemed.
Just when the three people were panicking and didn't know how to answer, Zheng Xiuheng smiled and said, "Leaving the gang is a good choice. Honest lending is also a normal business. This kind of business actually has great development value. I am very interested in it now. You just need to follow me in the future. But remember that I don't like betrayal or threats. Not everyone can say words like what I just said. You must know that the last person who broke his promise and said those words to me is dead!"
After hearing what Zheng Xiuheng said, Lin Dazhong and Jin Guanglu were just a little worried, scared and entangled, but Li Zaiyuan's face changed drastically after thinking about it. His legs suddenly became weak and he sat down, pulling the other two weak-legged guys to the ground.
Seeing the three people staggering, Zheng Xiuheng regained his composure and continued, "I'll text you what I asked you to do, and also send the loan target and contract to my new address, No. 9-3, Building 3, Xilan Apartment, Tongque District!"
Zheng Xiuheng is not worried about their choices, because reality is reality. No one wants to be a gangster, no one wants to be a pile of mud. No matter what the reason is, the three people at the bottom of the world will only make choices that are in their own interests, especially with a smart middle-aged man like Li Jae-won around, Zheng Xiuheng will not think too much about it.
Stepping over the three people on the ground, Zheng Xiuheng opened the door, left the office without looking back, and stood at the window next to the elevator on the eighth floor. Through the curtain wall glass, he looked at the streets and crowds running below and felt the sunlight, but Zheng Xiuheng could not feel any warmth in his heart.
Looking at the glass of the building next to him revealing colorful colors under the sunlight, Zheng Xiuheng's eyes were a little blurred. After a moment, he murmured: "I will protect you. No matter what I do, as long as I can protect you!"
The sunlight suddenly made people feel uncomfortable, so they turned and walked to a cool place, waiting for the elevator to arrive.
This is what life is like. Among countless fucked-up, ironic, and stupid choices, you have to make choices that go against your will and your heart.
Then someone will tell you that life is like chocolate, and we don’t know what the next one will taste like, but in fact they don’t tell you that most of the chocolates are of inferior quality, expired, and few people like their taste.
Zheng Xiuheng's life also welcomed a piece of spoiled chocolate.
Since the era of President Park Chung-hee, several large family-owned enterprises such as Hyundai, Samsung, LG, and Sunkyung have dominated the Korean economy, with business projects covering almost the entire industry and commerce, and even spanning media and politics. Social resources are in the hands of these companies. Koreans have created a word for this: Chaerol, which means "Korean chaebol." According to data from the Bank of Korea, the 30 largest family-owned business groups in Korea control almost 40% of the Korean economy. These large families have grown rapidly with the strong support of the government, and through marriages between their children, they have connected Korea's economic, political, legal and media circles.
Among them, the Samsung Lee family, LG's Gu family, Hyundai's Zheng family, SK's Choi family, and Lotte's Shin family are the five more prominent families. In addition to the above five families, South Korea's chaebol families also include the GS Xu family, Hanwha's Kim family, Doosan's Park family, etc.
The power wielded by these big families is simply unimaginable to ordinary people, but at the same time, the grudges and struggles between the wealthy families are also beyond the understanding and prediction of ordinary people.
Opened in 1979, The Shilla Seoul is a five-star hotel affiliated to the Samsung Group. It combines the traditional beauty of Korea with a modern atmosphere, bringing a luxurious life experience. It can not only hold various meetings and business activities, but also provides top facilities and services in various fields such as shopping, food, and leisure. The Shilla Seoul has a total of 464 guest rooms (including 39 luxury suites) and seven restaurants, 13 banquet halls, a fitness center, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, SPA, famous brand shops and other supporting facilities.
The major shareholder of this hotel is of course Samsung Group, followed by Lee Hoo-jin from the Lee family's side branch as the second largest shareholder. The third is not even a side branch, but a small family that has developed by relying on the Lee family. In fact, it cannot be considered a family because the family members are just ordinary structured.
